Year: | 1981 |
Director: | Hal Needham |
Cast: | Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Jamie Farr, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Jackie Chan, Peter Fonda, Bianca Jagger, Valerie Perrine |
Bringing the Hollywood Rat Pack together in a host of secondary characters and cameos, it tells the story of America's most famous illegal cross country car race, peopling it with iconic characters and following their antics as they employ lies, deceit, cheating, seduction and a variety of disguises to take out the prize.
Endlessly quotable and great fun, full of fast driving and laughs. Very much the product of Hal Needham's directorial talents, having given us the other well-known Burt Reynolds road movies.
